Clarification: We have 2 BrailleNotes at home (one for each of my boys) & only 1 family iPad at this time, so each time my other son wants to use the iPad, it has to be re-paired manually by choosing the desired device under the Braille option submenu in the VoiceOver setting - the 2 BN choices appear there, but the desired BN device needs to be selected via someone inputting the choice with their fingers on the iPad. To do that is quite a number of steps; I was hoping that a bypass shortcut to the setting submenu would allow them to do that more easily independently.<div>
I'm also hoping that some of you could help out with the other 2 questions - we are all eager to learn!</div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><div>Eric <div>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>

The first is voice over. Select that, and then when you want voice over off you can quickly press the home key 3 times and it will say voice over off, and you can do it again when you are ready to turn it back on. It will work no matter where you are on the devise.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

What are the steps to tactilely read iBooks using the Apex refreshable Braille display? I know that the BrailleNote can be used to navigate & have VoiceOver read the book aloud, but my kids find it faster & more pleasurable (& they remember better) by reading the words tactilely themselves. Are all iBooks readable with the refreshable braille display & if not is there an easy way to tell?</span><u></u><u></u></p>
